Subject: More about memory size and MDM7xx

Dave Towson has pointed out that I made an error in my message stating
that MDM7xx should run on a 48k CP/M system.  I think he's right!  I
had not considered space for CP/M (it was late that night when I
composed the message, HA!).

Re:   [Keith Petersen:  Memory size requirements for XMODEM and MDM7xx]

Keith - I think you have made an error in assessing the amount of memory
needed to run MDM714.  While I haven't looked to see exactly how much of
the 17K allocated for disk storage of the COM file is actually used, it
must be between 16 and 17K since my system allocates in 1K blocks.  With
two 16K buffers, that adds up to at least 48K, which leaves no room for
the operating system in a 48K machine.

Dave
